A city uses a water tower to store water for times of high demand. When demand is light, water is pumped into the tower. When de

mand is heavy, water can flow from the tower with- out overwhelming the pumps. To provide water at a typical 350 kPa gauge pressure, how tall must the tower be?

Answer:

The height of the tower will be 35.714 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure $P=350kPa=350\times 10^3Pa$

Density of water $\rho =1000kg/m^3$

We have to find the height of the tower h

We know that gauge pressure is given by $P=\rho gh$

$350\times 10^3=100 0\times 9.8\times h$

$h=35.714m$

So the height of the tower will be 35.714 m

A 36,287 kg truck has a momentum of 907,175 kg • m/s. What is the trucks velocity.

Airida [17]

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

Put the values where they belong and solve for Velocity.

In this case, since Mass is being multiplied by Velocity, to solve for be Velocity you would divide both sides by Velocity. The velocity will equal the momentum divided by the mass.

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

$P_{Miy}$ + $p_{Piy}$ + $j_{y}$ = $P_{Mfy}$ + $P_{pfy}$

$m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sin$ Ф

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}sin$ Ф

480 = 140 $V_{f} sin$ Ф................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

$P_{Mix}$ + $p_{Pix}$ + $j_{x}$ = $P_{Mfx}$ + $P_{pfx}$

$m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cos$ Ф

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}cos$ Ф

720= 140 $V_{f}cos$ Ф

140Vf= $\frac{720}{cos}$ Ф......................................(2)

Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

a box weighing 155 N is pushed horizontally down the hall at constant velocity. the applied force is 83 n what is the coefficien

meriva

Answer:

μ = 0.535

Explanation:

On a level floor, normal force = weight.

N = W

Friction force = normal force × coefficient of friction.

F = Nμ

Substitute:

F = Wμ

83 = 155μ

μ = 0.535

Round as needed.

Two billiard balls of equal mass move at right angles and meet at the origin of an xy coordinate system. Initially ball A is mov

frez [133]

Answer:

Speed of ball A after collision is 3.7 m/s

Speed of ball B after collision is 2 m/s

Direction of ball A after collision is towards positive x axis

Total momentum after collision is m×4·21 kgm/s

Total kinetic energy after collision is m×8·85 J

Explanation:

<h3>If we consider two balls as a system as there is no external force initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system</h3>

Let the mass of each ball be m kg

v $_{1}$ be the velocity of ball A along positive x axis

v $_{2}$ be the velocity of ball A along positive y axis

u be the velocity of ball B along positive y axis

Conservation of momentum along x axis

m×3·7 = m× v $_{1}$

∴ v $_{1}$ = 3.7 m/s along positive x axis

Conservation of momentum along y axis

m×2 = m×u + m× v $_{2}$

2 = u + v $_{2}$ → equation 1

<h3>Assuming that there is no permanent deformation between the balls we can say that it is an elastic collision</h3><h3>And for an elastic collision, coefficient of restitution = 1</h3>

∴ relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation

-2 = v $_{2}$ - u → equation 2

By adding both equations 1 and 2 we get

v $_{2}$ = 0

∴ u = 2 m/s along positive y axis

Kinetic energy before collision and after collision remains constant because it is an elastic collision

Kinetic energy = (m×2² + m×3·7²)÷2

= 8·85×m J

Total momentum = m×√(2² + 3·7²)

= m× 4·21 kgm/s
